CABBAGE WRAPS WITH SPICY PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
Napa cabbage makes the most delicious wrap, I can't believe I'm just discovering it! And isn't everything in life just better with peanut sauce? I mean, not EVERYTHING, but definitely most things! Case in point: noodles. Noodles with peanut sauce will have saved lives. And cabbage wraps with spicy peanut dipping sauce will increase your chances of winning one of those crazy powerball lotteries where there's like $75 million at stake. I don't know how or why, but I'm sure it will. So.... What are you waiting for? xx- Sarah {more after the jump}

You've done it again! A mouth-watering picturesque meal! AGAIN! Jeeeeeze, Sarah, you're good!
This looks awesome, but seriously, the photos look even better.
As you know, I made the raspberry chia jam last night--huge success, and how could it not be coming from you!--and have already shared the recipe (reluctanlty) with my friend. I wanted to eat that jam straight out the jar; can't wait to surprise the man with it for breakfast on the weekend.
Cheers.
